How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.1 libsolv-devel to version 0.7.6-3.7.2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libsolv-devel package and not the libsolv-devel package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.1 relevant fixed versions and status.

There is an illegal address access at ext/testcase.c in libsolv.a in libsolv through 0.7.2 that will cause a denial of service. NOTE: third parties dispute this issue stating that the issue affects the test suite and not the underlying library. It cannot be exploited in any real-world application
